The stock market opened decidedly higher
this morning. Good buying for foreign &C
count was the principal lever in lifting
prices. The market, however, exhausted its
strength in the first effort, and under free
selling most OF this advantage was lost early
in the day. Reading was conspicuous fea-
ture In the decline which followed. Later in
the day support was given to the list by DIFF
ferent ciques, which started the bears to
cover, and general advance followed, which
lasted until the close. The Improvement was
accompanied by story that the managers at
Chicago had made an advance in through
rates under the interstate commerce act.

conspicuous features by reason OF their in

To the Century, Colonel w. c..
Church contributes an article on Mas
sau, entitled "A Midwinter Resort, :"
with illustrations by Winslow Homer
From it we quote the following: "a
tragedy is connected with the principal
hotel, the Royal Victoria, which as
sociates it with our own recent history.
1t is brought to mind bya notice found
in the Nassau Guardian of fourteen
years ago, to this effect:
NOTICE.
All persons having demands against the
estate of the late Lewis +. Cleveland, deceas-
cd. are requested to render statements there
of duly attested, ON or before the first day OF
May next, to John s. Darling, Esquire.
And all persons who are indebted to said
estate are requested TO make immediate pay
ment to the said j. Darling.
GROVER CLEVELAND,
w. w. STEPHENSON,
January 20. 1873. Executors.
lone of these executors has since
been called to administer upon larger
estate. The occasion of his visit to
Nassau in 1878 was the sudden and
melancholy death of his brother, the
lessee of the hotel. He was lost on the
steamer Missouri, burnt off Abaco Is
land on the morning of October %,
1872. Another brother of President
Cleveland, Mr.. r. c. Cleveland, and a
brother-in-law, were also among the
victims of this disaster. Lewis Cleve-
land was a man of strong personality,
and stories told of him would indicate
that some of his characteristics of his
distinguished brother are family traits
An inexorable rule of his hotel man
agement forbade the payment of fees.
One waiter who accepted Christmas
gift was promptly dismissed. The lady
whose gratitude for special services
had thus found expression finally Sc
cured the reversal of the sentence, on
condition that the gift should be re-
turned. i will not, said Mr.. Cleve-
land, have those in my house who are
unable oT unwilling to fee the servants
put to any disadvantage 1t is told of
Mr.. Cleveland that, as he was on his
way to the steamer at New York, he
said: i do not know how it Is, but
have an impression that cannot get
rid of, that this will be my last yoy-
age. So it proved, not only to him,
but to sixty-eight others of the eighty
five persons who sailed in the Missouri
as passengers and crew"

Stories of the little slips or breaks of
Mr. and Mrs. Crpsus are ahoat. Mrs.
Cresus has been here several seasons
while Mr.. c. has stayed ut home and
made money for Mrs. G. to spend.
Now Mr.. G. has made his debut also in
Washington society and has tutor to
coach him.
Despite the tutor Mr.. G. makes some
awful mistakes. Not SO very long
since Howells, the novelist, was in
town. Mr.. c. was preparing to give a
great dinner party, and someone sug-
gested that he should invite Howells.
'.Howells," said the millionaire,
"who's Howells?'
"O,' said his friend, lone of those
literary fellows-magazine story-that
sort of thing"
So the novelist was bidden to the
feast, and afterward the host came to
him in the drawing-Ioom, flushed with
Importance and swelling like a toad,
clapped him on the shoulder, and said,

Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1887-04-06

A resident of Grant county, West
Virginia, was on the mountain near
Petersburg gap after flock of sheep,
a few days ago, when one of them,
startled by the sudden appearance of
the shepherd dog, leaped from pre-
cipice, and landed uninjured 175 feet
below. He watched the animal, he
says. in its fall. and saw that it passed
the tops of several tall pines. leaving
little tufts of wool as mementoes, and
appeared to light in top. when it
was thrown back against the noun
tain, and there struck another top, and
so on until it reached the ground.

AT the large evening receptions at
which there is waltz and galop music,
the number of prematurely weary men
who ''don't dance" is larger than ever
When supper is announced, however,
the fatigued fellow who don't eat
cannot be found in the crowded draw
ing-rooms..
